'Being
a swell or lion comique required more
than making appropriate noises and drinking appropriate drinks - as
Charles Norman sang in 1868
(in the Star of Bermondsey), So

were of central importance. The stage swell paraded all the apparatus
of genteel apparel, though variation and distortion were common where
the object was parody.

Thus Arthur Lloyd
often performed in bizarre dress and make-up, sporting a coat with exaggerated
lapels, an outlandish silk choker, and "a forty Cardigan power
moustache"' - Popular Music in Britain - Music Hall Performance
